Cutting Depth Adjustment; Setting For Bevel Cuts; Setting For Mitre Cuts; Plunge Cuts - Rothenberger PIPECUT mini basic Bedienungsanleitung

 Loosen the wing nut (5) and remove the screw.
 Insert the screw provided for chip protection in the old position and slide the chip protection
over the screw shaft from the front.
 Now reassemble the washers and wing nut and tighten the wing nut.

Cutting depth adjustment

The cutting depth is continuously variable between 0 and 40 mm (1 15/16 in.).
Proceed as follows:
 Unfasten the clamping lever 5 (Fig. 1).
 Set the cutting depth with the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2).
 The cutting depth can be read off the scale 2 (Fig. 5) on the cover. Zone 1 on the plunge
lever with the red background serves as indicator for this purpose.
 Retighten the clamping lever.
Always set the cutting depth approx. 2 to 5 mm (5/64 to 13/64 in.) larger than the materi-
al thickness to be cut.
5.5

Setting for bevel cuts

For bevel cuts, the saw unit can be set to any angle between 0° and 45°.
 Unfasten the wing screws 5 (Fig. 3).
 Adjust the angle according to the scale on the segment for tilting.
 Afterwards, tighten the wing screws 5.
5.6

Setting for mitre cuts

 Release the limit stop 21 (Fig. 7) and adjust the angle plate according to the scale on the
guide rail.
 Afterwards retighten the limit stop.
 Place the machine with the two stop bolts at the bottom side of the guide rail against the
workpiece to be processed and carry out the cut by pushing the machine forward.
 After the cut, return the saw to its original position by reversing.
5.7

Plunge cuts

Risk of backlash during plunge cuts! Prior to plunging, place the machine with the
rear edge of its base plate against a limit stop fastened on the workpiece. Keep a
firm hold on the machine handle during plunging and push the saw lightly forward!
 Unfasten the clamping lever 5 (Fig. 1) on the switched off machine.
 Reset the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2).
 Open the retractable saw guard with the lever 2 (Fig. 3) so that the machine can be placed
onto the workpiece to be machined. The saw blade is now running freely above the material
and can be aligned for tracing.
 Switch on the machine only now.
 Push the plunge lever 6 (Fig. 2) vertically downwards so that the saw blade plunges vertical-
ly into the workpiece. While doing so, the plunge depth can be read off the scale 2 (Fig. 5).
5.8

Sawing shadow gaps

The minimum shadow gap width is 13 mm (33/64 in.):
 Set the required cutting depth.
 Retract the retractable saw guard with the lever 2 (Fig. 3) and set the machine onto the first
fitted workpiece.
 Switch on the machine and push the machine evenly in cutting direction, in addition using
the extraction device.
